Table 1. Recent publications of systematic review and meta-analysis regarding supramaximal resection in GBMs.
| Class | Year | Number of enrolled studies | Number of patients | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incekara et al. [31] | 2019 | 6 | 1,168 | Compared with GTR, SMR of GBM resulted in a lower risk of mortality and longer median OS. |
| Dimou et al. [12] | 2020 | 7 | 2,019 | Preliminary results are promising but has low quality. |
| Jackson et al. [32] | 2020 | 11 | 2,056 | SMR may be associated with improved OS compared to GTR. |
| Wach et al. [17] | 2023 | 11 | 1,168 | The median PFS was longer in SMR group than GTR group. The rate of complications was comparable between the two groups. |
GTR, gross total resection; SMR, supramaximal resection; GBM, glioblastoma; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival
